When the second quarter came, the Lakers found their rhythm and scored 28 points to pushing them into the lead at the half. They kept the lead, but the Panthers were chipping away at the score. It wasn't until four minutes and thirty seconds left in the game that Jaida Washington finally pulled the Panthers back into the lead. The score went back and forth from there until Megan McAllister made a jump shot to put the Lakers back into their final lead.

Since the Lakers won the Championship, the MSAC Tournament MVP was given to Lacey for her phenomenal performance in their games against both Jefferson and Tompkins Cortland.
